Well, as far as I can tell from the patch, the only way to get data
corruption from the bug is when you use the SCSI ioctl's at the same time
as the disk is busy.
In other words, I think you'd have to do some special disk management, or
possibly try to burn a CD on a SCSI CD-ROM (or other special device that
uses the SCSI ioctl's) on the same controller. And nobody uses SCSI
CD-burners any more, I'd think.
